Bike— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and correct small grammar errors; start with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid saying the opposite (you said “did not have” then “preferred public transport” which is fine) but correct phrasing such as “taught” → “thought” and remove redundancy. For example, mention how you traveled and one brief reason or memory to make the answer more vivid.

예시: No, I didn’t have a bike as a child because my parents thought it was unsafe. Instead, I usually took the bus to school, which took about 20 minutes, and I remember sitting with my friends near the back every morning.

제안: This answer is contradictory and contains grammar and coherence problems. Start with a clear direct response (Yes or No), then support it with coherent reasons using linking words. Check vocabulary accuracy: say “not popular” and explain why (e.g., high maintenance costs, poor infrastructure). Avoid short sentence fragments. Provide a specific example or comparison to strengthen your point.

예시: I don’t think bicycles are very popular in my country because maintenance and storage can be costly. For example, many people prefer buses or scooters for daily travel since there are few safe bike lanes and keeping a bike in a small apartment is difficult.

× I did not have a bike when I was a child because my parents taught that it wasn't safe for me to ride at that age.

✓ I did not have a bike when I was a child because my parents thought that it wasn't safe for me to ride at that age.

The verb 'taught' is incorrect in this context; the student meant 'thought'. This is a word choice error affecting past tense verb meaning. Use 'thought' (past of 'think') to show belief or opinion. Suggestion: replace 'taught' with 'thought' to convey the intended meaning.

× Instead, I preferred public transport to go to the school.

✓ Instead, I preferred public transport to go to school.

The phrase 'to the school' is unnecessary because 'go to school' is the idiomatic expression for attending or traveling to school in general. Using 'the' makes it specific and unnatural here. Suggestion: remove 'the' so the sentence reads 'go to school.'

× No, I don't think so. Bikes are popular in my country because it's quite expensive to maintain them. So instead of buying a bike, people rely on public transport. For their daily commute.

✓ No, I don't think so. Bikes are not very popular in my country because they are quite expensive to maintain. So instead of buying a bike, people rely on public transport for their daily commute.

Multiple issues: 'Bikes are popular' contradicts the intended meaning; student likely meant 'not very popular' so correction aligns idea. 'It's quite expensive' uses singular 'it' with plural 'bikes' causing agreement and clarity problems (subject-verb agreement / pronoun reference) — use 'they are' or 'they're'. The sentence fragment 'For their daily commute.' is a fragment; it should be combined with the previous sentence. Suggestions: change to 'Bikes are not very popular... because they are quite expensive to maintain.' and join the fragment to complete the thought: '...people rely on public transport for their daily commute.'
